Have you ever dreamed of organizing your own intimate spa in the comfort of your home? If so, you’ve come to the right place! In today’s article, you’ll learn how to do DIY nails in a home SPA. It’s a great opportunity to take care of yourself, relax, and feel like you’re in a professional beauty salon without leaving home. What do you think? Are you ready for this adventure?
Preparing the space and materials
The first step to a perfect manicure in a home SPA is to properly prepare the space and materials. Choose a space where you will feel comfortable and where you can relax. It could be the living room, bedroom, or even the bathroom. It’s important that it’s bright and quiet.
Gather all the necessary materials, such as files, clippers, buffers, polishes, conditioners, nail polish remover, and cotton pads. Don’t forget about relaxing music and scented candles that will put you in the mood of a real SPA. Or maybe you have your favorite tunes that make you feel like you’re in paradise?
Hand bath
Before starting nail styling, treat yourself to a relaxing hand bath. Dissolve a bit of bath salt or a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender, in a bowl of warm water. Soaking your hands for about 10-15 minutes will not only soften the cuticles but also help you relax. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
Cuticle care
After the bath, it’s time for cuticle care. Gently dry your hands with a towel and start pushing back the cuticles with a wooden stick. If the cuticles are particularly stubborn, you can use a special remover. However, remember to do it gently to avoid damaging the delicate skin around the nails. What’s your opinion on cuticle removal? Do you have your tried-and-true methods?
Shaping and polishing
The next step is to give your nails the right shape. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for a classic square, almond, or more daring shapes. Always file in one direction to avoid splitting the nails. Then, reach for a buffer to smooth the nail surface and give them a healthy shine. Do you have a favorite nail shape that you always choose?
Applying conditioner and polish
Before applying polish, it’s worth using a base in the form of a conditioner, which will strengthen the nails and prevent discoloration. Choose a polish in your favorite color and apply it in a thin layer on the nails. After the first layer dries, apply a second one to achieve an intense color and durability. Finally, secure the manicure with a top coat, which will extend its durability and add shine. What nail polish color are you choosing today?
Relaxation and care after the treatment
After finishing the nail styling, relax for a while longer. Apply your favorite moisturizing cream to your hands and gently massage it into the skin, not forgetting the nails and cuticles. Such a massage will not only moisturize the skin but also improve circulation, which will positively affect the condition of your hands.
